Astroglias is a term used to describe a type of glial cell found in the brain and spinal cord. The spelling of Astroglias is derived from the combination of two words: astrocytes and glias. Each syllable is pronounced separately as [æs.trə.ɡlaɪ.as] using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The word "astrocytes" refers to star-shaped cells in the nervous system that support neurons. The word "glias" refers to any type of glial cell, which provides support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. Together, Astroglias can help maintain the health of the nervous system.
